Stimuleringsfonds contributes to the construction of a jetty in Sint Philipsland
Amidst a brisk breeze (Force 7 winds), Alderman Hilde Moerland presented a cheque worth €50,500 to Mr Erwin van Duuren of WSV De Slikleggers on 12 March 2026 for the development of a new jetty in Sint Philipsland.
The municipality of Tholen is providing the funds through the Stimuleringsfonds Samenleven. The initiative for the jetty was taken by the local watersports association. The new jetty will provide a safe and accessible spot where smaller boats can dock briefly. The current situation along the quay is less suitable, making boarding and disembarking difficult. The new jetty will improve safety and accessibility, making the harbour more usable for residents and visitors alike.
The desire for a safe docking spot has been a long-standing wish in the village. With the municipality’s contribution, the initiative can now take the next step towards realisation. Implementation is still dependent on completing certain procedures and coordination with relevant parties.
